Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
The synchronous generating units expected to be synchronised in SA from 0230 hrs 28/04/2020 to 0400 hrs 29/04/2020 in Pre-dispatch published at 1400 hrs 27/04/2020 are inadequate to maintain sufficient system strength in SA and hence a secure operating state.
AEMO currently estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1700 hrs 27/04/2020, AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in SA.

Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland
Refer to market notice 75226
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland. A revision to the requirements will be implemented at 1400 hrs today.
The revised minimum generator combinations and limits are:
1 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 2 x Barron Gorge: 100% output
2 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 80% output
3 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Townsville GT: 80% output
4 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 70% output
4H - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge, 50% or less output at Mt Emerald: 100% output for Haughton solar farm
5 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya: 70% output
The following new combination will also be implemented:
6- 3 x Stanwell, 2 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 9 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya: 20% output
If these combinations are not met, Mt Emerald WF, Sun metals SF and Haughton SF have a limit of 0 MW and 0 inverters.
The constraint equations are: Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_SMSF.
